So you’re the best man and you have to write a speech because, you’ve known the groom most of his life and have copped the responsibility and regardless of the fact that the groom has known you for the same amount of time he seems to have forgotten you’d be clueless when it comes down to writing a speech. So here’s some advice.
Never swear or use offensive words no matter what. When you’re writing your speech keep in mind your audiences and lil ode Gran in the corner, we don’t want any unexpected heart attacks on the day. Don’t try to hard to be funny it’s not a good look. You can’t go wrong if you don’t say anything that you wouldn’t want anyone to know about, unexpected surprises aren’t great. Most, best men find it helpful to write down their speech in notes for reminders don’t worry about this looking bad it will look better than awkward silences or adlibbing. Make a note of anyone or anything you want to mention or thank. Never make fun of the wedding no matter what may happen. Avoid potentially difficult subjects, the following need no more saying, drug problems, previous partners, womanising, excessive partying, having family or money issues. And the last two most important things, practice, practice, practice! and most importantly enjoy yourself.
